The storage providers set their own prices and the renters set how much they want to pay.
Just storing data is very cheap at $1.51/TB.
I have used it before and it worked just fine. Just don’t use it for PeerTube 😅
Wouldn’t they have shown up on the cam?
Interesting. I’ve been thinking about something like this for instances that use PeerTube. People could donate storage to PeerTube instances.
That's pretty obvious. Only if the victims were rich ~~white~~ ~~dudes~~. That's when it gets real.
Bluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.
Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.
Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

That doesn’t sound cheap though and it would become more expensive over time, right?
He means self-hosting as in hosting his own PeerTube instance? Right??? 🙏
